    Nothing at all.

    It’s purely for my own needs — what worked for Rob Pike’s eyes in the '90s doesn’t really work for mine when it comes to actually using it every day, so I figured I’d have fun with it while I was changing the colors for the various programs.

      Ah, I didn’t know Pike or Thompson were involved with Plan 9 . Does anyome here know why they used the Ed Wood movie for the name?

        I think it really is as simple as our dorks from the Labs liking Ed Wood.

        Same reason the mascot is named Glenda.
